The Sacramento Kings have made Denver Nuggets swingman Andre Iguodala their free-agent priority, according to sources familiar with Sacramento's thinking. The Sacramento Kings, after making Andre Iguodala their top free-agent priority, have abruptly pulle… (more)d their lucrative offer to the Denver Nuggets swingman, according to USA Today. After ESPN.com reported Tuesday night that the Kings were going all-out to try to sign Iguodala away from the Nuggets, USA Today reported in the early hours of Wednesday that the Kings frustrated by Iguodala's unwillingness to give them a faster answer took the reported four-year, $52 million deal off the table. Via his Twitter feed, Iguodala also said: As for Iguodala's future, Denver is the only team in the league that can offer him a five-year deal and has indicated repeatedly that it hopes to hang onto him. We get why they want a guy who is locked in on them, but if you offer a guy that much money, he’s going to see if he can get even more someplace else, right? And does this not show a massive “We don’t really have any kind of plan here?” vibe from Sacramento? They wanted a guy enough to back up the Brinks truck with an offer, but not enough to really pursue him knowing that he was talking with several teams? The current Nuggets swingman expectedly opted out of the final year of his contract in Denver even after a step-back season in terms of offensive production, looking to trade the final year for a longer deal that starts at a lower price but sustains him well into his 30s.
